Chapter 196

Istaroth's face changed drastically, but she did not dare to resist at all. If she resisted, her master would be even more excited, and she would suffer even more.

Takumi held Istaroth's arm and pulled her directly into his arms.

"Ah! Master! Spare me!"

Asmodeus's golden eyes watched as her master 'punished' Istaroth. Recalling the first time she went through this, her usually cold face turned slightly unnatural. Though it felt inexplicably comfortable at first, it became more and more exhausting towards the end, even making her body feel extremely tired.

After looking through Istaroth's memories, she realized why she had been so tired. This was her master breeding with them.

However, given their life forms, the possibility of reproducing offspring in the same way as humans was extremely low. They were, after all, incarnations of rules. It was impossible for them to create more rules—they could only use divine power to create.

But their master's will indicated that he did not want to create offspring in a typical manner; he wanted to reproduce with them in a human way.

Yet she was so exhausted each time, and for the first time, she felt fear—a fear she had never known before.

Princess Ryotsuki was not surprised that the 'Creation God' was playing such a 'game' with the 'Supreme God.' After all, she was a youkai and did not have the same concepts as humans. In her view, powerful beings could do whatever they wanted to the weak. Besides, the world had been created by the 'Creation God.'

Kikyo, being a human, served as a shrine maiden dedicated to the gods. Essentially, she was a concubine to the gods, offering everything to them. Whatever the gods did to the shrine maiden was natural.

Of course, shrine maidens also had the choice of which gods to serve. This journey was not one-sided; it was reciprocal. Though she was shy, she did not find it offensive.

Isn't this how Izanagi and Izanami, the mother and father of the gods in myths and legends, gave birth to many gods in the sky?

Kikyo was still hopeful that she might be able to bear an heir with divine power for the god she served.

Kagome, however, was different. As a high school student living in the 21st century, and a girl just beginning to explore romance, seeing such an impactful scene made her scream, covering her face in embarrassment and wishing she could find somewhere to hide. But being in the Throne of Heaven, there was no place to hide. Hearing the voices, her heart almost jumped out of her chest.

"Ah, ah, ah, the gods actually say such things directly... What do I do? How do I escape from here?"

Kagome covered her face, her ears reddening, and her head felt like it was about to burst with smoke. It was as if her brain were overheating.

Takumi looked at Kagome, who was behaving like an ostrich, and smiled playfully.

Kagome had long experienced the era when Zhongli ruled the world, making rules through contracts as her idol. She also learned more about him through Istaroth and came into contact with Kikyo, finding out she was the 'reincarnation' of Kikyo.

Istaroth cut off the 'time paradox' between the two through the 'authority of time,' making them two separate individuals.

Kagome learned through stories with Kikyo that in her previous life, she had been a shrine maiden for the 'Celestial God of Heaven' and a concubine to the god. This revelation was a shock to an ordinary modern high school student like her.

It was like a fairy tale or a legend, like a poison that kept drawing her in. As she experienced more and more in the 'era of divine rule,' she gradually accepted that she was the concubine of the gods.

After all, Kagome was originally from a 'Shrine Family.' Although they were isolated due to having few followers of the creation gods like 'Ama no Gochu,' she still understood all the rules of the shrine maidens.

Takumi raised his fingers toward Princess Ryotsuki, who approached happily, ready to join Takumi's 'game.'

Princess Ryotsuki was extremely happy. She had once been a youkai but had become lucky enough to serve as the pet of the 'Creation God.' Now, being pampered like a shrine maiden concubine brought her even more happiness.

A mere immortal-level dog youkai and Istaroth were not enough for Takumi to enjoy. With his immense strength, he wouldn't be exhausted even if he indulged for thousands of years.

He looked at Asmodeus, who had a hint of fear on her cold face, and pulled her over.

Kagome couldn't help but feel strange sensations within her body as she heard the voices. She accidentally opened a small slit between her fingers to take a peek.

Suddenly, it opened the door to a new world for her.

Not only was the god's 'game' not as awful as she had imagined, but it was also incredibly captivating.

Unknowingly, Kagome became fascinated, even though her sense of shame was on the verge of exploding.

After all, gods were the embodiment of the rules of the universe. From an ordinary person's perspective, no matter what the gods did, it was considered sacred.

Kagome watched for more than an hour, not realizing how long she had been watching. Takumi, however, had no intention of leaving Kagome and Kikyo to just observe.

Stepping down from his throne, he approached them. Kagome panicked, while Kikyo knew that the god she served intended to see her.

"Although you two are still ordinary beings, you can join me."

Takumi put his arms around their waists, and Kikyo leaned directly into his embrace. Kagome, by then, had lost her thoughts completely.

When she regained her senses, she realized she had already accepted his invitation.

"Ah!"

After the sun and moon alternated three times, exhaustion could be seen in Asmodeus's and Istaroth's eyes. Only Esdeath still seemed excited, as if the intensity hadn't reached her endurance limit. She even hoped for Takumi to be rougher with her.

Princess Ryotsuki slept soundly beside the throne.

As for Kagome and Kikyo, they stood next to Takumi, blushing while shyly wearing shrine maiden uniforms crafted with divine power.

They were just ordinary extraordinary beings now, with strength given to them that only made them as capable as ordinary humans, albeit with the recovery afforded by divine power to prevent negative side effects.

However, they had been forced to participate in three days of 'games,' with a variety of experiences that reshaped both of their worldviews.

Takumi touched their heads gently. "I have given you the right to contact me, but please do not contact me at will."

Kikyo and Kagome nodded before reluctantly walking through the 'Gate to the World' to return to their realm.

The figure of Princess Ryotsuki also slowly faded away, locked within her world's palace during the night.

"Alright, playtime is over. It's time to get to business."

The 'Original Dharma Ring' and 'Abyss Dharma Ring' emerged behind Takumi, exuding an aura of supremacy.

The unclaimed thrones of the 'Temple of Gods' began to disappear, leaving only the thrones of the existing gods.

"All the chief gods, Dragon King, come to Wei Aether Island to attend the meeting."
